Our mission is to accelerate the world's transition to fusion energy while safeguarding humankind. This is not a normal company. This is not a normal job. We are committed for the long term to win. ### **ABOUT THE ROLE** Fuse is the first private company building a fusion facility based on Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF), an approach proven through a decade of simulation and experiments at Sandia National Laboratories. Our next milestone is Z-Star, a 15 TW Next Generation Pulsed Power (NGPP) facility built on TITAN, our in-house Impedance Matched Marx Generator (IMG) and the highest-power IMG in the world. Z-Star will be the first large-scale demonstration of the IMG architecture and will support high-quality science relevant to DOE missions. As a Pulsed-Power Engineer, you will design, build and test the high-voltage pulsed power systems that drive our MagLIF experiments, working alongside engineers and scientists from concept through experiment. ### **WHAT WE VALUE** - Obsess about the details — sloppy work costs us later, so do it right the first time. - Care — pick up the trash. Do things no one asks you to do. Go the extra mile because you care. - Act with urgency — every hour matters more than it feels like it does. - Be responsible for the outcome, not just the task; if it is not working, it remains your problem until it is fixed. - Assume good intent — disagree openly, then commit fully once a call is made. ### **CORE RESPONSIBILITIES** - Design and develop pulsed power systems that deliver high-energy, high-power electrical pulses to the MagLIF target. - Analyze and model system performance to optimize efficiency, reliability and safety. - Work with engineers and scientists to design and build the MagLIF experimental setup, including the target chamber, diagnostics and control systems. - Run experiments to test the pulsed power systems and the MagLIF target. - Analyze experimental data to validate system and target performance. - Troubleshoot and repair the pulsed power systems and the experimental setup. - Document design, development and testing through technical reports and conference presentations. ### **MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS** - Degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Engineering Physics or a related field, with a focus on pulsed power. - Hands-on experience designing, building and testing pulsed power systems. - Experience with pulsed power technologies such as Marx generators, pulse-forming networks and switches. - Experience with high-voltage, high-current electrical systems. - Strong communication and teamwork skills. ### **PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS** - Experience with circuit and pulsed power modeling codes such as PSpice, LTspice, SCREAMER, CHICAGO or similar. - Experience with IMGs, LTDs, Z-pinch or MagLIF experiments. - Background at a national lab or large pulsed power facility. ### **ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS** - This is not a remote position and will require relocation if not already local to Fuse's San Leandro, CA facility. - Comfortable working hands-on in a lab around high-voltage and high-energy equipment, following strict safety procedures. - Occasional travel to other Fuse locations and partner facilities. ### **BENEFITS** - Medical, dental, and vision coverage. - Relocation assistance for roles that require it. - Flexible time off. Take what you need, no accrual tracking. - 2 weeks of paid time off built into the end of each year (subject to team and business needs). - Supportive leave of absence policies. - Paid leave for new parents. ### **ITAR REQUIREMENTS** To conform to U.S. Government technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. ### **EQUAL OPPORTUNITY** Fuse is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with Fuse is governed on the basis of merit, competence, and qualifications and will not be influenced by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, ancestry, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.
